- Purpose of this program:
-
- Replace the system default fonts in ROM (topaz.8 and topaz.9) by a user
- selectable font of the same size, propably the topas.8 and topas.9 in this
- archive. (Note the "s" instead of the "z".)
-
-
- Usage:
-
- To replace the topaz.8 font by the font "foo", size 8, insert the following
- command to your startup-sequence:
-
- ReplaceTopaz foo.8
-
- To replace the topaz.9 by the "foo" font size 9, use:
-
- ReplaceTopaz foo.9
-
- This command swaps the characters of the font "foo" with the char's of the
- font "topaz". Hence you get later on the original "topaz" under the name
- of the font it was replaced with. As an example, opening "foo.font" in an
- application after successful installation will yield the system default
- "topaz", and opening "topaz" will give you "foo".
-
-
- Additional Caveat:
-
- The font you replace topaz with MUST have the same dimension, i.e. a replace-
- ment for topaz.8 should have a 8x8 container, and a replacement for topaz.9
- a 10x9 container. Failing to do so might cause unpredictable results!
-
-
- Fonts provided in this archive:
-
- topas.8 and topas.9 : Sample replacements for the system topaz fonts.
- They are ALMOST the 1.3 style topaz fonts with serifs
- I prefer, with little changes in the german ü umlaut
- and the german sharp ß for better readability.
-
- topas6.8 : This one isn't useful for the ReplaceTopaz,
- but provided as a little extra. It is a very readable
- 6x8 font useful for Lores-screens.
- topaz.5 : A proportional topaz style font of height 5.
- Very tiny, but as readable as I could make it.
- Also provided as an extra since ReplaceTopaz won't
- work with this one.
-
-
- Installation:
-
- - Copy "ReplaceTopaz" to your C: directory.
- - Copy the fonts to the FONTS: drawer if you like them.
- - Call "FixFonts" after the font installation.
- - Insert the "ReplaceTopaz" command in your startup-Sequence.
